Journal of Intercultural Communication

Journal of Intercultural Communication (JICC) (ISSN 1404-1634) is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed, and open-access journal. The world today is characterized by an ever-growing number of contacts, resulting in communication between people with different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This communication takes place because of contacts within the areas of business, military cooperation, science, education, mass media, entertainment, and tourism, but also because of immigration brought about by labour shortages or political conflicts. In all these contacts, there is communication that needs to be as constructive as possible, without misunderstandings and breakdowns. We believe that research on the nature of linguistic and cultural similarities and differences here can play a positive and constructive role.
